How to Contact an Inmate at Montgomery Pretrial Detention Facility (FL)

• 2 min read Based on general FL policies

Montgomery Pretrial Detention Facility doesn't offer in-person visits. All contact happens through video visitation, so setting up your video account ahead of time is essential.

Video visits are limited to one visitor per inmate each week. If multiple family members or friends want to connect, coordinate ahead of time to decide who should schedule that week's visit.

Cost heads-up: Remote video visits (from home) are charged at $0.25 per minute.

Don't want to pay the per-minute fee? There's a free option. You can visit the Video Visitation Center at 500 E. Adams Street to connect at no charge. This works regardless of which facility houses the inmate.

  1. Create your GettingOut account - You must sign up as a visitor through GettingOut before you can receive video visitation calls.
  2. Wait for the inmate to place the video visit - At this facility, video visitation is initiated by the inmate calling an approved visitor.
  • ✓ Upload a photo ID during your GettingOut account setup so your account can be verified and approved before you receive video calls.
  • ✓ Use the same GettingOut account for inmate tablet messaging and video visitation (once your account is set up, both features are enabled).

Reminder: Remote visits from home cost $0.25 per minute. To avoid the fee, use the Video Visitation Center at 500 E. Adams Street instead.

Before making plans, confirm a few details that could change. Verify that Montgomery Pretrial Detention Facility is still video-only with no in-person visits, and that inmates still initiate the video calls. Make sure you have a verified GettingOut account with your photo ID uploaded. If you're budgeting, check the current remote rate ($0.25 per minute as of this writing) and whether the Video Visitation Center at 500 E. Adams Street is still operating. Finally, confirm the one-visitor-per-week limit still applies, since that determines who should schedule.

  • ✓ Whether remote video visits are still $0.25 per minute
  • ✓ Whether the Video Visitation Center at 500 E. Adams Street is still no-cost, and what the current process is to use it
  • ✓ How strictly the one-visitor-per-week limit is enforced, and whether any exceptions apply
